Big enough now to start a member network

[Finly Owner]

I was thinking about how we might be able to help each other out with cheaper parts for our Patrols. Especially those of us whom are building Budget Rigs. There are quite a few parts available through members here. All we need is transport networking.

Payment for parts can be dealt with privately through bank deposits etc. And of course if needed I'm sure members would be happy to pay a small fee for the opprtunity to use such a service.

So do we have any Owner/Driver Truckies, Interstate Couriers. Or any one in logistics that may be able to wrangle a forum deal.

I am thinking mostly for things like, Wheels, Bullbars, Winches, Panels, and maybe Diffs, Motors, Gearboxes if they can be handled b anyone.

Could this be stickied as to stir some interest hopefully?

I would be really interested if someone could get a bullbar down to me. Keep seeing good ones pop up but they're always up on the big island and say "pick up only". Damn Bass straight!! lol

Good idea. works on other forums.
taslucas I may be able to help you out as im heading up to the big island, coming back on the night sail of the 27th august if you find something in melbourne i could strap it to the roof or on top of the camper and you can meet me at the spirit to pick up. I know its a bit away but the offers there if you want it.

Stuck for you in General Chat for the time been Tim, a lot of sticky's in general chat @ the moment and probable needs cleaning sorting out.

Great idea you have here.

I assume you are referring to ebay or gum tree and the only problem with that is, even if you could arrange transport with a courier / TPT company, you rely on the other end to help, and it doesn't always work out that way.

Yeah very good idea. If anyone does trips from brisbane to cairns i would also be interested. Freight is ridiculous.

[Sir Roofy]

is a really good idea but need to work out a net work of members or a grid

Thanks heaps for the offer mate. I will keep it in mind and keep looking for a good bar.

One of the local forums in NZ has a ORE service (Off Road Express) and when someone wants something transported puts a post up, of what/where the goods are to where it's to go. Mainly between members and sometimes it goes through 4 different people. No funds (beer maybe) is exchanged as everyone may need something so everyone helps out just in case one day they need something. There's a couple of guys over here that we know do certain runs and they prob have more beer than the local LOL
